San Francisco Motels

Discount lovers and shoestring budgeters rejoice! There are many roomy and affordable motels in the city of San Francisco. Save some money by staying at one of San Francisco's numerous motels. The savings you pocket can be put to better use seeing the many attractions the city has to offer.

San Francisco Motels -- Location, Location, Location

Many motels are centrally located and are close to all of the major attractions. Motel 6 on Geary Street is a short cable car (or Muni) ride away from the Golden Gate Bridge, Candlestick Park, the San Francisco Zoo and Fisherman's Wharf, home to some of the best San Francisco restaurants. The amenities here include local calls, expanded cable (which includes HBO), coffee in the morning, wireless Internet and they even allow pets! But for those who want a quiet little retreat away from the hectic pace of the city, the Oceanview Motel fits the bill (figuratively and literally speaking, of course!) This motel is located on the beach in the Sunset District of San Francisco. Public transportation is available across the street and there are many excellent restaurants and coffee shops in the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and is more than happy to answer any questions you may have. And at the Overview Motel you have the added bonus of being able to end your day watching the sunset from the beach.

Finding the Best Motel Deals in San Francisco

Motels are generally cheaper than the more upscale hotels located in the heart of San Francisco. However, a little bit of comparison shopping will go a long way in helping you in finding the best San Francisco motels. You will be able to find the motel that fits your budget and is located close to all of the action. Also, be sure to ask friends and family who may have visited San Francisco. Chances are they may be able to give you the skinny on some terrific deals.

Getting out and About in San Francisco

Some motels, such as the Motel 6 chain and others, offer an amazing array of amenities included in the price. However, most independent motels will not offer as much. And for guests of these motels, it is imperative that you get out and about in order to find what you are looking for. Try to get quickly acquainted with the area you are staying in. Ask the staff if they know of any local drugstores or drycleaners. You'll be able to pick up that toothbrush you forgot to pack and can take care of any emergency dry cleaning or laundry that needs to be done.

Staying in a San Francisco motel is a surefire way to save some extra cash. Shop around to find the motel that best suits your pocketbook and needs, and then you can focus all of your attention on the exciting and glamorous city of San Francisco, California!
